Little League Baseball is implementing new rules regarding what bats can and cannot be used. As of January 1, 2018, the new USA Baseball Bat Standard will be implemented. Little League-approved baseball bats that were approved for use for the 2017 season will no longer be acceptable for use in any Little League game or activity starting on January 1, 2018. The only exception for this is at Tee Ball, where those bats may be used with a league-provided sticker.

This means that any bat your player used up to this point will not be allowed in the 2018 season and beyond.

Please also be aware that many retailers are having sales to close out existing inventory and the vast majority of these bats will not meet the new standard.

Approved bats will have the USA Bat logo on them. Coaches and umpires will be requiring use of the new bats, including for practices.
